JAKARTA - Floods caused by heavy rains in Pakistan caused damage that killed 30 people this week. Lahore has seen extreme rain in more than four decades.
The arrival of the rainy season has triggered floods and landslides across South Asia in the past week, with a total of 195 people killed and nearly 200 people missing in one disaster in neighboring India.
Rain flushed northern Pakistan, causing flooding, buildings to collapse, and increasing the risk of electric shocks.
The 44-year rainfall was once again broken in Lahore, said a utility official in the northeastern province ofTEN.
Authorities have recorded six deaths and warned flash floods are expected to occur in the south this week.
